You spend most of the story as fugitives opposing the dominant authority of the era. It's definitely darkier/edgier than most Tales games, although there are still light-hearted moments along the way. In this case you start out more as a villain/anti-hero and are out for revenge in a Count of Monte Cristo kind of way.
I took a whole bunch of screenshots, you can see them later in this post! I'm a big fan of the game's cel-shaded aesthetic as well.For the second achievement-focused run, I played all of it on the highest difficulty (Chaos), though that was blunted by the XP boosts. As you can tell, I like a bit of challenge in my random encounters, I like that if I'm not focused, I might die. They're great for farming grade later on, but the first few times I encountered one led to a game over due to me being unprepared. And then, there's the Dire Foes, boss-type mobs with invincible minions that show up unannounced at the end of battle if you're doing too well in a certain area. You have to look out for Risky Encounters (back attacks!) or Dangerous Encounters (when you trigger more than one mob groups at the same time), as both those encounters give the mobs serious advantages. Hard difficulty had a reasonable balance: if I wasn't paying attention to random encounters, there was a nontrivial chance I could just die. I played majority of the first run on Hard difficulty, I think I dropped to Moderate a couple of times in the bonus dungeon, just to get things over with.The combat balance is slightly tilted in favor of the heroine Velvet, but the rest of the party members are reasonably fun to play as well and each have their roles.
I'm especially a fan of how their real-time battle engine has evolved over the years, and version in the Berseria may be one of my favorites.
TALES OF BERSERIA DLC DOUBLE GRADE HOW TO USE SERIES
I'm a big fan of the Tales series of games, ever since Phantasia on the SNES and Destiny on the PS1, and I take the opportunity to play them whenever they come out for a console I actually have.Has fun combat, a great cast, a darker story and a really good aesthetic. Summary: One of the best entries in the Tales series. For the past month, most of my gaming time was spent on the Steam version of Tales of Berseria, which I got from a Humble Monthly Bundle back in 2018.
